We are training young minds to use tech for good, because they are not just the future, they are the change. #ROFImpact #EducationForAll #Tech4good

Last week we visited Sabembe Secondary to introduce students to digital literacy 💻laying the foundation for our STEM Club. Excited to empower young innovators!

Spaces that bring people together matter. This networking event was a powerful reminder of the value of collaboration, shared learning, and localized impact. Thank you @segalfoundation #VibrantVillageFoundation and #IssroffFamilyfoundation #Localization #networkingevent

Celebrating our Akili Scholars graduating high school and heading to college! Each milestone shows the power of education to break cycles of inequality and empower girls to build safer, more equitable communities. #EducationForAll #AkiliScholars

This #WorldAIDSDay25, ROF stands with youth in rural Kenya, building HIV awareness, fighting stigma, and expanding opportunities through STEM, skills training, and scholarships. Knowledge + opportunity =a future free of AIDS. #ROFImpact #EndAIDS #EducationForAll #KenyaYouth #STEM

Imagine a world where every child can access digital resources and explore technology. This World Children’s Day, we celebrate that vision through one of our youngest coding camp participants Gedalee. #futureready

Last week on Friday the 14th, AMPLIFY Girls, @ICRWAfrica, @rhnkorg, and the Freidrich Naumann Foundation (FNF) hosted a successful Roundtable Dialogue to welcome the new Kenya National Commission on Human Rights @HakiKNCHR Chairperson, Ms. Claris Ogangah. This gathering brought together judicial officers, the Media Council of Kenya, civil society leaders, development partners, government officials, and other key stakeholders to engage in a timely and critical conversation on the state of human rights in Kenya — where we are now and where we aspire to be. Thank you to partners, friends, and human rights actors who joined us and contributed to the conversation, offering their insights into how we can strengthen collective efforts to advance human rights for all. Watch out for more highlights from the roundtable dialogue. #AMPLIFYHer

At ROF, through our Akili STEM Arts Academy, we empower learners by exposing them to new tech opportunities. Great first day of our 3-day coding camp! students explored Scratch designing, animating, and sharing stories with so much creativity. Excited for the next two days!

From November 19th, for three dedicated days, we are collaborating with Kisumu Multi Talents-KIMUTA to host their students at our center for coding sessions #FutureCoders #StrategicPartnership #KimutaTalents #ScratchCoding #STEMEducation #Innovation #ROFImpact #Futuresready

Over 10 of our scholarship students are sitting for their KCSE exams. We're so proud of their resilience & dedication. This is the power of education in action. Good luck to all! #ROFImpact #AMPLIFYHer #Education4ALL

13th Sept marked a big win for STEM in Kimilili! With @FuturesInfinites, we launched the Junior CodeCraft Program, training 90+ teachers to bring coding & robotics to their schools. Learners will now explore Raspberry Pi Pico kits sparking creativity, & future-ready skills!

Riley Orton Foundation (ROF), in collaboration with Futures, hosted the first Educators Training in Robotics (Pico) under the #JuniorCodeCraft Program in Kisumu. 60+ teachers trained to start after-school Code Clubs in Scratch & robotics! 🚀 #STEMEducation #RaspberryPi

Our Director of Programs represented ROF at the Amplify Partners meeting in Nairobi. We joined CDO leaders in sharpening skills in comms & fundraising, gaining tools to craft stronger proposals & build resilient orgs, helping us better serve our communities.#CommunityDrivenChange

Grateful to Connection Ubuntu for donating 11 laptops + a Wi-Fi router to ROF. The timing was perfect our STEM camp students now get more hands-on tech experience! #STEMEducation #GirlsInSTEM #DigitalLearning #EdTech #FutureReady #TechForGood

This week, students have been putting into practice the tech skills they gained during the first week of camp. Guided by our theme “Engineering a Water Secure Future,” they are designing innovative solutions and telling stories through #Scratchcoding and Arduino robotics.

We are with our partners in Nairobi🇰🇪! Today marked Day 1 of our partner in-person training on communications and fundraising for CDO leaders. We began the training laying the groundwork with engaging sessions on strategic communications for fundraising facilitated by Purity Kemei, our Communications Officer, Salim Segawa, the Communications Manager, and our Partner Resource Director, Anthony Wafula. In the afternoon, we had the special opportunity to hear from a guest facilitator, the amazing Racheal Muthoga, who shared insights from her experience on building personal and organizational brands as CDO leaders. We appreciate her for joining us and for leading such a powerful session. Watch out for more updates from our two-day training with CDO leaders from our network. #AMPLIFYHer

We wrapped up a 3-day teachers and volunteer training ready for the August STEM Camp, where this year’s theme is solving the water crisis by engineering a water-secure future.

Yesterday we joined a Master Trainers session on Pico Robotics organized by Futures Infinite and the Raspberry Pi. The session was both educative and fun, and we will add another exciting robotics component to our STEM program. #robotics #ROFImpact #AkiliSTEMartsAcademy

Yesterday, we kicked off an exciting three-day capacity-building workshop to prepare our educators for the upcoming August Holiday STEM Camp! With 24 passionate teachers diving into hands-on tech training. #ROFImpact #AkiliSTEMartsAcadmy STEMEducation #TeacherTraining
